MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Claims of Russian involvement in cyberattacks that resulted in the leak of classified documents pertaining to US Democratic Party are 'absurd' and exemplify the Russophobia campaign unleashed in the US prior to presidential elections, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.
"We do not deal with hackers, we have nothing to do with such activities," Peskov told reporters in a conference call.
"As to any direct or indirect accusations against the Kremlin or Russia in general, alleging that they could be somehow involved in some kind of cyberattacks, these claims are completely absurd and represent a picturesque example of the use of Russophobia in the in the interest of election campaign," Peskov stressed.
